Escaped inmate Richard Matt was shot three times in the head and died from severe skull fractures and brain injuries, according to autopsy results released Sunday.

Matt, a convicted murderer, was shot and killed Friday by a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer after nearly three weeks on the run while hundreds of authorities searched for Matt and David Sweat, who broke free from Clinton Correctional Facility in upstate New York on June 6.

I figured Matt was executed. If I had a cough-drop company, I’d market Mattdrops ;-)

Sweat got shot in the back. 2/45 slugs, and may live. This needs a movie script, and a black pepper sponsor.

And so am I. (I saw your 37)

A murderer gets three shots to the head.

Now that is a government cost savings plan.

LOL

Cynic...

This needs a movie script, and a black pepper sponsor.

Remember when (Cool Hand) Luke was running and had the young boys get him some pepper and told them they were going have some fun "watching how them dogs do when they come through here"?

Pray and spray carried over from the Army... Yeah sure, and you jarheads ain’t any better.

I told a lady at work about this; she evidently hadn’t been following the news. “He was an escaped convict from New York,” I said, “and he was hung like a bull elephant.” She let out a scream and cried, “Oh my God! Matt is dead!”

That was my first thought, too. Couple days and we have the full report. Waco? Not so much. We probably will never see what the Waco PD did.

It warms my heart to know that they spent weeks freezing, scared and being eaten alive by insects, only for them both to be shot.

It ended sort of the same way ‘Fargo’ did, minus the wood chipper.

So...where’s Jesse and Al? Where’s all the cop bashes? Oh, my bad...the perp was white...never mind.

OK, that is where three of the billion rounds the Feds have purchased went.

Makes me worry less about the other 999,999,997!

I think we got em now.

3 head shots. Now that is some mighty fine shootin!

If he were black Sharpton would be renting his rioters.
